2002-06-02 Maybe the long date in Nederlands has to be: dddd, iiii-MM-dd. It may not have liked the "y" for year, if that is what you did. Or did you replace every y with an I and it still would not except that? If so, that is odd.
It appears to be right now! Except the word JUNE appears in the date instead of 06. This is because you have 3 Ms in the date field in stead of just 2. Change it to yyyy-MM-dd. Then the date should appear all numeric as mine does.
